Description

Welcome to Send Shenanigans – where humour, heart, and the realities of SEND parenting collide.

Hosted by the terrific trio of Debs from Life AsPland, Gemma from Isla's Voice, and Emma from INFACT, this podcast is your weekly dose of laughter, solidarity, and a bit of SEND savvy. Our hosts share their journey through the world of Special Educational Needs and Disabilities with a blend of candid tales, sharp wit, and a no-holds-barred approach to the absurdities of life.

Send Shenanigans is more than just a podcast; it's a lifeline for parent carers who navigate the choppy waters of SEND parenting. Each episode dives into themes that resonate deeply within the SEND community – from the eye-roll-inducing comments of well-meaning folks to the feeling of being abandoned post-diagnosis, and the Herculean effort required to organise SEND events.

But that's not all. Our hosts engage the vibrant Send Shenanigans Facebook group, inviting members to share their experiences and opinions on these themes, creating a podcast that's by the community, for the community.

• The Moral Dilemma: A fun, thought-provoking conundrum presented in each episode, guaranteed to spark debate and maybe even a chuckle or two.

Whether you're a seasoned SEND parent, new to the journey, or someone who loves a good blend of insight and irreverence, Send Shenanigans is your go-to.
